Formed on the gulf coast of Florida in 2010, The Hip Abduction has grown from just a few African instrument playing surfers to a full-blown 7-piece Reggae powerhouse.

THA (as coined by fans) is currently touring the east coast while promoting their newly released self titled 12-song LP, which was produced by Michael Goldwasser (Matisyahu, Easy Star Allstars, Rebelution, The Green). It debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Reggae charts and No. 2 on the itunes Reggae charts.

Opening the show are local favorites Love Chunk. The five-piece St. Augustine-based funk machine plays an array of original tunes and unique covers. Influenced by the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Galactic and the Grateful Dead, their distinctive sound has become a staple of St. Augustine's local music scene. The bands also will be joined by DJ Raggamuffin of WFCF 88.5 Flagler College Radio.

Tickets are $5 in advance ($10 at the door) and are available at Ticketfly.com or at The Surf Station, Music Matters and A1A Burrito Works Taco Shop.

Doors will open at 9 p.m., with music starting at 10 p.m. Go to thestandardfl.com.
